They have really thought of everything that you may need during your stay. The cul-de-sac was lovely and quiet, such a perfect location for visiting the peak district and close enough to visit the big cities. Lots to do within the area and supermarkets only 15 mins away. Highly recommend.

It was spotlessly clean and had every item you could possibly need. A good location for days out. Perfect for a dog with the secure garden. The only downsides were the 'Alexa run' TV which try as we might could not get a TV guide on so had to go into every app to see what each channel was showing, and the fact the property had only one toilet which was in the main bathroom, which meant if anyone was using the shower/bath/toilet then everyone else had to cross their legs, which with 2 adults and 2 teenagers made it quite difficult in the mornings. Even just a toilet downstairs would have made it much easier. Overall, I would definitely recommend this property to rent and use as a home from home whilst visiting the area

The garden was lovely just a shame we couldn't make us of it due to the weather the kitchen had everything you could need and more. Thank you for a lovely stay and hopefully we will come back . Thanks Helen and mark
